I just tried to build on my failures.

I don't take much stock in other people's opinions if I think something's good.

I wait and take on projects that I think can work.

If it's going to be wrecked, I want to make sure I wreck it.

You can be as you choose to be. It's an act of discipline sometimes, but it can be done.

I think one of the first things to go as people's lives start to go down is their dreams. Dreams should be the last thing to go - dreams are the things you go down with. If you're left clinging to a piece of driftwood in the middle of the ocean, I'd put on it the word dreams.

I know I have this level of celebrity, of fame, international, national, whatever you want to call it, but it's a pretty surreal thing to think sometimes that you're in the middle of another famous person's life and you think to yourself, 'How the hell did I get famous? What is this some weird club that we're in?'
